Muslim Judge Swears Oath On Koran; Bigots Go Crazy
[su_center_b]
This is, sadly, predictable.
Following her election last month, Carolyn Walker-Diallo was sworn in as a civil judge for the 7th Municipal District in a Brooklyn Borough hall last Thursday. She chose to take her oath using a Koran instead of a Bible.
After video of the New York Law School graduate was posted online by community activist and litigator Mohammed Mujumder, enraged commenters swarmed his Facebook pageto express their outrage, with one writing, “Another piece of shit Muslim. Trying to take over this country.”
Mixed in with racist memes accusing President Barack Obama of being a Muslim were concerns that Walker-Diallo might institute Sharia law from her East New York City bench.
